Decision Making in Critical Care Medicine

The idea is very attractive, to present maximum information about a disease, in a brief but thorough manner, followed by an algorithm about how to proceed in managing the critically ill patients. In fact, this is what we do daily, go through the differential diagnoses, confirm, or refute these by asking for focused investigations and imaging, and proceed with treatment, while balancing the risks and benefits of a particular way of treating the patient.

Key Features :

• A quick bedside guide for how to diagnose, assess and manage common and uncommon critically ill patients.
• An algorithmic and stepwise approach.
• Practical answers to emergencies with quick look at the pathophysiology, etiology, and differential diagnoses What to do and what not to do? When to do and when not to?
